The JEMS Report: Tylenol Use in Pregnancy
Dr. Sarah Fabiano and Dr. Jeremy Cushman break down the recent FDA release linking acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy to autism spectrum disorder.
They discuss the distinction between association and causation, highlighting how studies can show correlations without proving direct cause and effect. The doctors also address the complexity behind autism diagnoses, genetic and environmental factors, and the known risks of fever during pregnancy.
They emphasize that acetaminophen remains one of the safest and most effective options for pain and fever relief in pregnancy, especially compared to alternatives like ibuprofen or aspirin, which carry documented risks.
This discussion aims to clarify confusion, steer clear of fear-driven decisions and encourage informed use of medication based on current science—not headlines.
